  1. $45 million, huh? Peanut shells compared to the death sentences that are coming to certain Deep State politicians and their propaganda media.

  2. This isn't biased at all! Thank you NBC! 😌

  3. 👶💔😢💔👶💵😢💔👶💵
    Please look up
    The Corrupt Business of Children's Protective Services
    with Alex Jones talking to
    Sanator Nancy Schaefer
    please investigate this because this is true they are picking on lower income families to get a job from corrupt CPS especially if you asking for government assistance and have cute healthy children it's not something that just happens in the movies…
    Peace ✌️🕊️✌️
    8.7.2022
    Especially if your a
    lower income family
    And ask for any government assistance okay.

  4. What about all that was said about the Kennedy Assassination. Every conspiracy theory you can think of. Elvis sightings after his death implying he didn't die. Why was that ok?

  5. So glad that he was found guilty…But Texas Laws are SO STUPID and DOES NOT PROTECT THE PEOPLE

  6. Buy a coffee mug or a tee shirt before going to crunch this morning, and support the BIGGEST LIER on the religious right,, sorry, 2nd BIGGEST LIER. GO TRUMPERS!

  7. He don't look too good 😕

  8. sure thing. globalists dont like the truth to be told..

  9. Step up to the plate US – no more excuses and soft pedalling, please

  10. Icehole Jones is the symptom, those who enable him by sending him money are the real problem. They should be held responsible for paying out a substantial sum….put their money where there hate is…..

  11. Alex Jones wasn't sued and didn't lose this is a false flag lawsuit and is an attempt by satanic lizard people to distract us…😂
    No, but seriously….I hope he loses everything including the will to live.

  12. Soros & the commies have had a major victory against the first amendment and Alex. We all need to donate to keep him on the air!

  13. We all know Sandy Hooks case was conducted by the left to shut down Alex Jones freedom of press and free speech. Alex Jones stated the shooting happened, but crisis actors were on the scene ‘possibly’ and that it smelled of corruption. That was simply his opinion. This was spun off in order to create any reason by the corrupt courts and judges along with government officials paid by so called wealthy donors to parade Mr. Jones through a kangaroo court system thus achieving “they’re” goal of shutting Alex Jones constitutional first amendment right to freedom of speech. Even stealing millions and millions of dollars from him and his family. For those of you celebrating this matter including butchers of the American Elite I can only say as my birth right to freedom of speech you are only making the good people of America angry. #God bless America

  14. Alex should have selected Trump supporters for jury duty. Alex is in a career that pays well for lies. It’s a dream job.

  15. Alex should have selected Trump supporters for jury duty.

  16. NBC msnbc abc cnn lie almost every single night! They lied about Donald trump defamed him for 4 yrs straight I think he should sue all of them for their lies about Russia etc

  17. Can we sue people for defamation who say Santa Claus, Moses and Muhammad weren't real, and that it's all a hoax?

    If you cannot have freedom of thought and speech without being sued for your own theories, then this nation is gone..

    And Goodluck to any progression in scientific research, since they won't be able to have any incorrect theories, without paying for their wrong spoken ideas..

  18. We have a punitive damage cap in Texas. As I understand it, the cap is $750,000.00 per plaintiff. Why is no one talk about that!??

  19. Why aren't any of the people uploading to youtube, showing a video of the reading of the $45 mil verdict? I want to hear the gasps from the courtroom and the look on his face. Did the judge allow videotaping by the media of the first verdict but not the second? Why?

  20. Let's hope Connecticut empties all his coffers including the ones offshore. And then this line con is trying to claim bankruptcy. All the suckers that think this screaming con man is a hero. Hahaha

  21. This is the end of free speech. They might as well sue every tabloid along with Fox News.

  22. And what happens if he doesn't pay?

  23. i hope the fcc dose something about his phony show the guy is a menace to society …

  24. Just for the sake of being tidy.

  25. I can probably find 17 things to have him be murdered in jail.

  26. Goody goody for him! Lying talking bout he ain't got no money!🤨

  27. words hurt me please stop

  28. There were no cameras for Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell trials. Why?

  29. We, The People, know Sandy Hook was a false flag, capstone event. This is political tyranny. FREE ALEX JONES!!

  30. To answer the contributor's question, the cap on damages is because of people like HIM and HIS network; it's the big CORPORATIONS — the same ones who claim to be upset about caps — that are the ones who LOBBIED to cap damages. And for every lie that Alex Jones has told, these big networks have told a thousand lies. Hypocrites.

  31. Let’s just pretend like Alex hasn’t been right about so much of what we are going through today. All you chicken heads just literally follow whatever the current thing is because you don’t have enough braincells to think for yourself or think critically about anything that goes against the grain.

  32. This guy slandered a group of parents promoting a lie about a shooting….what about tRump, who slandered 300 million voters and attempted to nullify their votes????? Where is OUR justice???? The REAL CRIMINAL is talking about running for president again!!!!!!!

  33. The punitive damages awarded equal about 10 months of infowars revenue. Inforwars was launched 23 years ago. He will continue to spew his scummy pablum. Only this time he will be smarter about it. His next victims will have a more difficult time taking him to court.

  34. So now they can Sue you for your opinion.

  35. Can't wait for Dominion Voting System $1 Billion lawsuit against Faux News. Even with a cap it will be substantial. Not even sure a cap applies in this case as it will depend on the state where the trial will take place, plus Dominion is a business and can prove the terrible reputational damages as well as thefinancial losses Faux conspiracies told caused them.

    In any case, I'm haopy for the families, I don't think they care about the money, it's the symbolism. I, too, like any parent would want to clear my murdered child's name even for $1.
